Gymnastics 3-5 years Programme
Physical exercise is an essential component in the development of a healthy and interactive child. Our 3-5 years programme offer activity to young children early on in their life. The scheme is a simple fitness programme, progressive in structure. The scheme is non-competitive, being based on participation rather than achievement.
The scheme combines physical movement with the use of colour and texture to develop a broad range of expereinces that will stimulate children and encourage them to explore their physical environment. With the accent on fun, a positive attitiude to physical activity is quickly created and likely to develop into a longer term interest in all sporting activities.
Five major aims of our programme;
-
Provide a programme of basic body management activities
-
Create positive attitudes towards physical activity
-
Encourage children's social, intellectual, emotional & physical development
-
Promote good posture and locomotive skills
For gymnasts aged 5 and over we now follow the Amercian Grades Programme.
The Amercian Grades Programme has been structured with a long-term view of providing all gymnasts with both a challenging and attainable system. For the girls the programme covers all four pieces of apparatus and for the boys it covers six pieces of apparatus.
The programme has been deigned to be flexible allowing the gymnasts to develop at a rate appropriate with their ability. This makes it possible for gymnasts of all ages and levels to take part in the Programme.
